I have had a Mark Levinson 333 once that I replaced with an Accuphase A-50V (a well known class A poweramp). The Accuphase was better and more musical than the ML. In 2005 I decided to buy these Acoustic Reality amps with the ICEpower ASP1000 modules (factory direct, so no audition prior to purchase). After extended break in I preferred the sound of the AR amps and sold the Accuphase! A Swedish fellow audiophile bought the Accuphase and is very happy with it. I'm still using the ICEpower amps (now in an upgraded version) and am awaiting a pair of Soundlab A-1 to arrive.
You can regard this ICEpower amp as sh*t. If this is really sh*t then my hearing is shitty too and I don't deserve those A-1's. I would say you should trust Martin Colloms' golden ears, because those are the most audiophile ears on this planet!
